WAC 296-06-120   Copying fees.  The department may charge the requestor a fee for reimbursement of actual copying costs and postage costs. The department may require a deposit of up to ten percent of the estimated cost of all copies. If the department delivers a public records request on a partial or installment basis, it may charge for each part of the request as it is provided. If an installment of a records request is not claimed or reviewed within thirty days, subject to a case-by-case consideration, the department is not obligated to complete the balance of the request. Requestors may make their own copies at a department location, under the supervision of a department staff member, if the records will not be harmed and it will not interfere with the normal work of the department.

Note:

Copying charges for various media are found on the internet at www.lni.wa.gov. The contractor registration section and electrical program charge separate fees for copies of material from a contractor's or an electrician's files. These fees are in WAC 296-200-900 and 296-46B-910.
